Headphones for Student Success

Help me give my students access to quality headphones so they can fully engage in digital learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Elkins's classroom raised $176

My Project

I love my students’ curiosity, resilience, and excitement for learning. Many of them face challenges outside of school, but when they walk into the library, they are eager to explore new ideas and develop essential skills. Unfortunately, many of my students cannot afford their own headphones, which limits their ability to fully participate in digital learning experiences.

By providing quality headphones, this project will ensure that every student can focus on their individual learning without background distractions.

These headphones will support interactive reading programs, research projects, and educational games that build literacy, comprehension, and problem-solving skills.

My goal is to create an equitable learning environment where all students have the tools they need to succeed. These headphones will allow them to engage deeply with technology and gain confidence in their abilities. My students are special because they never give up—they are eager to learn, adapt, and grow, and with the right resources, they can achieve amazing things!
